Jeremiah 14:2-6

2 Judah mourns and her gates languish;they lie in gloom on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem goes up.
3 Her nobles send their servants for water; they come to the cisterns,they find no water, they return with their vessels empty.They are ashamed and dismayed and cover their heads,
4 because the ground is cracked. Because there has been no rain on the landthe farmers are dismayed; they cover their heads.
5 Even the doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn because there is no grass.
6 The wild asses stand on the bare heights,* they pant for air like jackals;their eyes fail because there is no herbage.
